Story
The announcer talks about the news , and the audience listens to him.
In parallel with news stories , a storyline unfolds tied to Arab terrorists who believe that everything that American television shows is immoral and unethical, while secretly admiring militants and half-naked beauties. In the course of the action, the heroes of the reports and the main action intertwine, and as a result, the heroes of immoral militants and half-naked beauties help save America from terrorists. In addition, there are some inserts in which the film is commented on by film critics, and the word "masses" is also given.

News
Onion News makes fun of America’s flaws. Here are some of them:
- It is recognized that a person is obese if he has 55% fat. The American president raised this number to 95%. As a result, the number of obese people decreased from 200 million to 185 million.
- A new action movie comes out with Stephen Seagal Yazeboy. The plot is that Seagal fights with the bad guys in the way indicated in the name.
- There is a new organization, "Penis People." They are engaged in the fact that they release the genital organ from different cracks.
- Armless and legless man brilliantly plays hockey and receives letters.
- According to the ideas of the Americans, all Italians are mafiosi , and all Arabs are terrorists.
- A guy giving a speech about world peace , reconciles the presidents of two countries - Sloravia (with the flag of Zimbabwe) and Azerbaijan (with the flag of Uzbekistan). (For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the presidents will finally quarrel anyway). It should be noted that they speak Ukrainian and Russian.
- The recipe for a new dish: roll the cat in egg sauce and put it to boil with breadcrumbs (this episode is shown at the very end of the film, when the main action is already over, the authors appear and say that they cut out some things from the film because there must be borders. ”The second episode is the episode with a nun drinking something white from a can on the street that says“ Monkey Cum ” ).
- On the games of ordinary people in American society: in murder and rape.
- Due to the lack of space in prison, police officers will take their home by preliminary drawing of lots. (In fact, not only the police, but any family in general. Which, incidentally, in the film gave rise to more funny things than scary ones).
- An armed African-American breaks into a bank demanding to give him a good well-paid job. He works great, increasing his skill level. When a burglar bursts into the bank, an African American kills him with contempt.
- The fact that one African-American is arrested on suspicion of theft and "hanged" on him. (Actually, such a thing as “ Wigger ” is ridiculed - white people striving to be like ghetto Africans and acting like them. This story describes a situation where a white guy imitating black ghetto gangsters is caught by the police and accuses crimes committed just by African-Americans, to which the guy rightly claims to be white, but even witnesses to the crime identify him as one of the black gangsters who have just committed a crime).
